Beach Sealing Oil Boom
“Beach Sealing Oil Boom” is widely used for oil spill response and environmental operations. The water ballast containment booms are used to protect areas exposed to tidal flow. It is ideal for sealing land-water interface in shallow waters, calm rivers, or intertidal waters. The beach boom has two interconnected bottom water chambers (ballast) with two fill/drain water valves and one top air chamber (buoyancy/towing) with one fill/drain air valve. All chambers have automatic relief valves which protect the unit from overpressure.
The Canflex “Beach Sealing Oil Boom” is manufactured from highly visible orange or yellow polyurethane coated, high tenacity fabric, giving it excellent durability and flexibility. Both ends of the boom are reinforced to avoid tearing. Each section has two ASTM aluminum end quick connectors with stainless steel bolts and pin.
Some of the Beach Sealing Oil Boom features are:
- Reinforced double layered base for added resistance against abrasive or jagged surfaces
- Reflective strips on the splash flaps allow for good visibility
- ASTM connectors at both ends of boom
- Top inflatable chamber is equipped with one (1 PSI) relief valve and one Monsun air fill valve
- Each of the two bottom ballast chambers are equipped with one (2 PSI) relief valve and one Monsun water filling valve
- 2” interconnecting hose assembly with valve adapters (to fill / offload the fluid in series of up to 4 x 65ft sections at a time)
- Carry / storage bag
- Low maintenance and easily cleaned
- Marine-grade, plywood box for shipping and long term storage (Optional)
Applications include, but not limited to:
- Shoreline protection in shallow waters
- Intertidal waters
- Calm rivers
